  Notes	This illegitimate daughter of Berit Olsdatter Kvale (b. 1851) and Lars Johnson Wangensteen (b. 1848) was the first demonstrable leirmal for each parent. Ove Olsen Kvale was the responsible member of the Vang congregation who stood for the illegitimate Berit. From the Emigrantar over Bergen frå Austlande, on August 26, 1898: three unmarried individuals who were born in Vang i Valdres but were returning to their home in Minneapolis after a visit departed on the Stjernelinjen line. The three were: Britha Larsen Kvale, 26, b. 1872 (#11616), occupation syerske (seamstress), Rangdi Tollefsen Ellingbø, 28, b. 1870, occupation syerske, and Jørgen Tollefsen Ellingbø, 31, b. 1867, occupation juveler. Rangdi and Berith arrived in New York aboard the S.S. Majestic on September 8, 1898, after departing Liverpool on August 31st. Rangdi is shown as a U.S. citizen, Berith is a citizen of Norway. She is probably the Bertha Kvale of Minneapolis, listed in the Valdris Book, who was a member of the Samband between 1902 and 1910. According to MOMS, Bertha L Kvale married “Christ A Joe” in Hennepin County, Minnesota, on 1 Jan 1913. The Minnesota Marriages database on FamilySearch clarifies the husband’s name for this marriage as Christ A Loe. Bride and groom were both “of Hennepin County.” The ELCA record of the marriage shows Inga Ellingbo of Minneapolis as one of the witnesses. We don’t know who that Inga was. The hospital was the informant for the information on her death certificate. At the time of her death, she lived at 2622 3rd Avenue S. She had been in Minneapolis for 40 years. She died from an acute small bowel obstruction due to post-operatory adhesions. She had an operation, and “exploratory laporatomy,” on June 21st. She had entered the hospital with peritonitis and bronchopneumonia.
